Center pop-out Fun fold card with video & free project sheet

September 8, 2025

This fun fold card I’m sharing today is super fun to open and to make. It looks like a normal card from this photo:

But look how it opens! The center pops out for a nice surprise.

My colors include Cajun Craze, Early Espresso & Basic Beige. The designer paper is from the Gathering Together pack seen here.

This designer paper is part of our Online Exclusives. To see all of these new items click here. Or download & save the Download Online Exclusives flyer

I used the Branching Out stamp set for the greeting and the fabulous new Traditional Labels dies seen here.

In the photo below you can see the scored bridge strip that pops out the center. To understand how to assemble this card please watch the video below. It will make sense then!

Stack & Cut card technique; make 4 quick cards with your Designer Paper

April 25, 2022
On tonight's FB Live we're making Stack & Cut cards! Monday, April 25th at 7:30 pm here on my FB page.

If you can't watch it live it will be on my YouTube channel here.

Save

I chose to use the Heart & Home designer paper and the Blessings of Home stamp & dies bundle (seen here) for these pretty cards. This designer paper is retiring at the end of May. I like the fact that each sheet has a white wood pattern on one side.

Save

Here's now to make these Stack & Cut cards: Choose 4 different patterns of Designer Paper and then cut them into pieces using the template below.

Sort the pieces so one piece of each pattern fits on each card front. You'll create 4 different but similar cards quickly! Embellish as you'd like.

Save

Here's a photo of the pieces I started with.
- 4 full cards of Pale Papaya – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
- 4 Garden Green pieces at 4" X 5 1/4"
- the 16 pieces of Designer Paper – cut from the 4 pieces of DSP you started with
Save

Here's the template I used for the 4 pieces of Designer Paper. Choose patterns that coordinate in color. I love this way of using our beautiful double sided designer paper!

Tip: it's best if the patterns have a variety of sizes in their patterns.

Save

The Flowers of Home dies (seen here) are delicate with many leaves & flower options.

Join me here tonight at 7:30 pm CT to see how easy it is to make 4 quick cards with the Stack & Cut technique.

Artfully Layered birthday card with video

April 22, 2022

Here's another pretty card I made during last week's FB Live. I featured the Artfully Layered bundle from the Jan-June Stampin' Up! catalog.

Save

The colors include Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green with White. I used three different dies in the Tropical Layers dies. The rick-rack border, the leaf and the crosshatch texture. See the bundle here.

Save

The greeting is heat embossed on the Coastal Cabana CS strip using White embossing powder. Adding heat embossing to your project steps it up a lot!

Save

Tip: get two colors from one ink pad. Note the two shades of Coastal Cabana on the leaves on the lower left of the card? I stamped off for the multiple leaves image once for a lighter hue.

The Faux Sea Glass Shapes are back in stock! Get them here.
